Which artists do collectors really
like?
Which
artists do the collectors registered at Independent Collectors
favour? An interesting question we have speculated about quite
extensively.
How
many collectors have uploaded how many works by an artist? How
many collectors listed the artist as one of their “favourite
artists”? We had a close look, and now we know! The result is
as varied as the member base with over 2.500 collectors from
78 nations.
Very
present in the list of “favourite artists” is the Danish
artist Olafur Eliasson, closely followed by the
controversial yet entertaining Jonathan Meese. Photo artist
Wolfgang Tillmans and the British artist Jonathan Monk are
also quite “highly ranked”. While these four are already from
the cadre of well-known artists, none of the inevitable
superstars of the global art scene can seem to match their
popularity among our members. The names of Damien Hirst and
his Japanese colleague Takashi Murakami have been entered
often enough to secure them a mention, of course.

broader overview of artists that are popular among our members
and to see which works by these artists have been
